Insight Vacations Reviews

The tour leader and the driver are great. I'm having a great time. Enjoying the sites seeing for the first time. I really recommend if you want to visit Germany for short period of time.

Would highly recommend this tour, as everything was organised. The tour director and coach driver delivered a high standard of customer service.

We loved the variety of experiences on this trip. From the busy sights of Rome, Florence, Pisa and Venice to the charm of Lake Maggiore, Cinque Terre and the grandeur of the Dolomites, we saw Italy at its best. The pace was just right and tour guide excellent. The only downside was rather repetitive fixed menus for dinner in the early stages of the ...read more trip, which improved as we moved away from the busiest centres. Organisation by Global Journeys was great and everything clicked into place.

Thanks to Hannah from Global Journeys for organising the tour for us. You made it easy for us. This is the third trip with Insight and everything was well organised and comfortable with a good Tour Director and Driver in a new spacious coach. This tour showed other parts of Italy/Sicily we have not seen on other Italy tours. Highlights were getting ...read more to see the history going back to Greece invasion in BC times and Arib influences. Mt Etna is amazing. Would recommend this tour with Insight and Global Journeys for all their help.

We had 29 on our tour and we all got along. Quite often we would pair up with other couple to sit with at breakfast or dinner. We had a lot of fun with the other guests and everyone had a good sense of humour including our tour guide, Maja and the driver Laszlo. We had unseasonal warm weather in Copenhagen, Stockholm and most of Finland until we got ...read more to the Arctic Circle. We saw some amazing things and the scenery was breathtaking. Well worth it.

We enjoyed the scenery and lovely towns and villages. Too many long coach days though. Would have loved a more enthusiastic , passionate tour guide with some French music on the coach on the long travel days. Too many optional excursions that should be included like orientation walk of Nice and Aix en Provence.

Overall a good variation of what Italy offers from busy crowded Rome and Florence to seaside Santa Margherita, stunning Dolomites and finishing in Venice. Having done numerous Insight trips it is the combo of Tour Director and Driver who can really turn a group of strangers into a travelling family and TD Barbara and driver Gian Lucca were exceptional ...read more in every aspect.

We have arrived home from our Italian adventure, after a stopover in Singapore on the way home. Both Susan and I were very impressed with the Italian Elegance tour. In a short time we packed in the history and busyness of Rome and Venice, the beauty of Lake Maggiore and Tuscany, the wow of the Ligurian coast and lots and lots of snow in Cortina. We ...read more were lucky to have a good group joining us. Insight Vacations provided an excellent tour guide and a high standard of accommodation. Thank you for your efficient handling of our bookings, travel documents and tour information. Travel planning is much easier when all the details have been taken care of. Your guidance was important to us and we are both very grateful. Hopefully it will not be too long until one or both of us will be contacting you to book another trip.

This tour was an excellent way to see Spain and Portugal and made even more delightful by our Tour Director Denise Lamas whose knowledge of the countries and their history and customs was exceptional as well as her kindness and friendliness to all. There were 36 on the Tour and as a solo traveller I was given a friendly welcome by all. Easter week ...read more in Spain was very special and in spite of the crowds there was an atmosphere of unity everywhere. The highlights of the tour were the visit to Seville and the perfume of the orange blossom, the snow capped Sierras and the Alhambra, the lunch with village ladies in their homes and of course the amazing Segrada Familia by Gaudi in Barcelona. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to visit Spain and Portugal.

This was the most wonderful, enjoyable and most memorable tour. While some of the organised guides could have thought about our need to eat...and shorten their chat...other than that...wish there was some more free time as quoted, in Lucerne...before the shops shut. 🥲 Faith was by far the best tour guide!

Travelling with Insight was totally stress free. Our fabulous tour director saw to every little detail and his suggestions for restaurants and optional tours were spot on. The hotels we stayed in were great and our group got along really well. It was relaxing , fun and informative at the same time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Global Journeys and ...read more Insight for future adventures.

Insight Vacations through Spring Tours provided a memorable 12 day, small group, Splendours of Egypt tour that included 7 days cruising on the Nile in a boat with a capacity of 120 passengers. While the MS Nile Odessa is a bit dated the river cruising experience was enjoyable, noting it is the Egyptian civilisation sites that were our primary reason ...read more for travelling to Luxor and Aswan. While a day trip to Abu Simbel (from Aswan) was an option extra - we highly recommend it - the Abu Simbel site will blow your mind - Ramses the Great (Ramses II) had a taste for grandeur. Our Tour Director was exceptional, which makes a huge difference to one’s experience. The pace of the tour was excellent - nay faster and it would have been less enjoyable and unable to spend sufficient time each site to appreciate them for what they are - marvels. Finally thank you the Hannah and the team at Global Journeys.

Our guide Federika Nandini was a delight, who kept a keen caring eye over all. Our driver was careful and managed to manoeuvre a large bus on some tight and potentially dangerous roads. Local guides were excellent. There was a considerable amount of walking each day which will test the less fit. Hilltop towns are just that and are challenging on the ...read more knees! Meals provided were usually over catered and in noisy interiors. Optional excursions were varied . Some lovely hotels were included but not able to be enjoyed as we didn’t stay long enough to enjoy.

Highly recommend a small-group tour with Insight Vacations. It was a worry free holiday with great accommodation and food. The tour director was fabulous and the coach was super comfortable with WiFi and bottled water.

Egypt was breathtaking and Insight only made it better. Our guide, Wael (an Egyptologist) was engaging and a joy to listen to. The earpieces we used were not the cheap ones and we never lost connection. I loved everything about our trip from being met at Cairo airport and being escorted through the airport to the drivers, all the staff on our ship sailing ...read more the Nile, our magnificent tour guide, Wael, who stayed with us the entire trip, the accommodation at Marriot Cairo ( an experience in itself) and of course the temples and pyramids of this incredible country. Highly recommend.

It was really a well organised trip, right from the very beginning with Global Journeys and Georgie, right through the getting them to organise all the flights and accommodation before and after… it all made it work so well! The bus driver Alf and the tour director Dave, really cared about all of the great bunch on the tour. We were various ages and ...read more all got along really well!! The tour director thought about what we were seeing and extra touches that made it memorable! They really looked after those of us who had ability problems during the trip always!!! Going above and beyond!!!

The accommodation was clean and some were family run and a touch of nostalgia, made it all perfect!! We had many organised meals, we found that such a help because the trip was jam packed with so much to see and do, it was very welcomed!! The one thing I would ad for the tour director is that I’m sure there would always be some who would welcome to be told about any Aurora sightings, no matter what time of the night!!!! So as not to miss this spectacular sight!!! The trip was a 22 day through England, Scotland ( magnificent Scottish highlands and Orkney Islands) Northern Ireland , beautiful Ireland, Wales, and back to England… all so magnificent!!! We really loved the trip and are very glad we chose Insight and Global Journeys…thanks to all involved!!

Insight vacations is truly a remarkable company. Absolutely flawless from beginning to end. Our tour director, Madeleine was courteous, friendly knowledgeable and very well organized. Everything was thought of in advance and perfectly executed. Ned, the driver of the coach, was likewise friendly, courteous and extremely skilled. There is nothing ...read more we can suggest that would make the experience any better. Great hotels, dinners, excursions and overall itinerary. Once again, it was flawless.

Great tour, Insight vacations in Europe back to its best. 10/10. Spain and Portugal were amazing - the tour just got better and better. Excellent tour guide, great hotels, can't speak more highly of this tour.

We had a great time on this holiday trip. The pace was good and well organized. The scenic drive along the country roads is incredibly scenic with stunning views of the snowcapped Swiss Alps, romantic lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, vineyards, green pastures, old towns, and charming hillside villages. On the second day, we had truly a wonderful experience ...read more getting up to the summit of Mount Stanserhorn aboard an open top funicular cable car and the opportunity to take great photo shots of the wonderful mountain scenery. Among the stunningly snowcapped Swiss Alps, the iconic Matterhorn and the world famous Eiger Mountain offer spectacular views and lifetime experiences. Overall, this was a memorable holiday, complete with exciting train rides, cable cars, luxury cruise of Lake Geneva and spacious touring coach on our drive covering most of the major Swiss cities. We commenced our 14-day trip on 29/08 and had expected the weather to be cool and clear but sadly most of the days were hot and sunny.

A great group of travellers. 13 of us on a 48 seater bus so we all had a window seat! Our tour guide Scott was very well organised, and knew the history of the countries. Nothing was a bother. Our drivers were very experienced. The hotels on the whole were very good with big rooms. One hotel had smaller rooms but as I was on my own it wasn't a prob ...read morelem.
